Answer to the puzzle
Since in the instructions, it has been stated that any sign can be used, therefroe we take the liberty to solve the puzzle with various signs. The equations do not have to be limited to DMAS.
(1) 2 2 2 = 6, Using + ,
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
(2) 3 3 3 = 6, Using * and - ,
3 * 3 - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6,
(3) 4 4 4 = 6 , Using √ and + ,
√4 + √4 + √4 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6,
(4) 5 5 5 = 6, Using / , (), and + ,
5 + (5/5) = 5 + 1 = 6,
(5) 6 6 6 = 6, Using, + , () , - ,
6 + (6-6) = 6 + 0 = 6,
(6) 7 7 7 = 6, Using -, () , / ,
7 - (7/7) = 7 - 1 = 6,
(7) 8 8 8 = 6, Using ∛ and + ,
∛8 + ∛8 + ∛8 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6,
(8) 9 9 9 = 6, Using √, * and - ,
√9 * √9 - √9 = 3*3-3 = 9 - 3 = 6
